Need to partition free space after clone on mbp

Solution 1:

To add the unallocated disk space of the 2 TB SSD to the volume SSHD2TB you have to resize the whole CoreStorage stack SSHD (which contains the Logical Volume Group 42B22334-B408-4A14-881A-59085EFA8574, the Physical Volume 88553EA4-D22B-46CA-9F86-7C8CE46D529E, the Logical Volume Family BAEB0215-349C-4DC6-A03A-7AE4057DF831 and the Logical Volume DA8E726B-6383-4470-BE08-97745C29D5DA):

  • Boot to Macintosh HD. After entering your password the system will boot to your desktop. Now you should be asked for the password of SSHD2TB to unlock it. Enter this password.
  • Open Disk Utility and verify/repair SSHD2TB.
  • Open Terminal.app and enter diskutil list.
  • With the disk identifier of the 2 TB SSD (in your example disk2) enter:

    diskutil info disk2 | grep "Total Size"
    

    this will yield something like:

    Total Size:      2.0 TB (2000390717440 Bytes) (exactly 3907013120 512-Byte-Units)
    
  • Then enter diskutil cs list.
  • You will get a similar or identical output as in your question.
  • To resize the whole stack use the command diskutil cs resizeStack lvUUID size with lvUUID= the Logical Volume UUID of SSHD2TB and size: the final size in t (TeraByte), g (GigaByte), m (MegaByte) etc.

    Now you have to subtract the size of the EFI and the Recovery HD from the found total size to get size: ~2000391 MB - 210 MB - 650 MB = 1999531 MB.
    In this case the command is then:

    diskutil cs resizeStack DA8E726B-6383-4470-BE08-97745C29D5DA 1999531m
    

    If you get an error:

    Error: -69720: There is not enough free space in the Core Storage Logical Volume Group for this operation
    

    simply choose a slightly smaller size like 1999525m instead and reenter the command with this value.

    In some rare cases a magic size of 0g also works:

    diskutil cs resizeStack DA8E726B-6383-4470-BE08-97745C29D5DA 0g
    

    This will expand the stack to the max size possible.

    Both commands resize the whole CoreStorage stack and move the Recovery HD on the 2 TB disk (in your example disk2s3) to the end of the disk.
